26
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: tweets about that yesterday, people asking for raises for you,

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: Like it's when you do that kind of stuff, people

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,000

00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,640

Speaker 1: you know, Okay, Anyway, I'm great, Derek, Honestly, thanks, I'm

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: I was here at seven thirty working on this thing.

38
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: I actually expect more from Amber because but when she

39
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: first got onto this show, she came in with that

40
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: smile every day and a bubbly personality, and over the

41
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: time that she's been on this show, she's just kind

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: of now down in the ditch with you and Nicks.

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: He hangs out with me and Nick all the time. No, Right,

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: so it's just like I can't win here. All right,

45
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: let's talk about this. Let's first start first talking about injuries.

46
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: There was like a really really great moment yesterday. There's

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: one player who's been missing so much from practice and

48
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: he actually practiced full yesterday. Cheetabel Woozy, tell me more

49
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: about it. Congratulations, Cheeto. We get excited yet, Like, can

50
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: fans get excited? Is he gonna play this week? Or

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't get excited yet get excited. I wouldn't get

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: excited yet. But he practiced, that's a step. He practiced full. Yeah,

53
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: he's his hamstring should be good if he's out there

54
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: doing a full practice. But I mean, you know, we'll see,

55
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: Like that's typically not the way NFL teams operated is

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: to just there, there you go, rookie, you're healthy for

57
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: the first time in a month. Go play seventy snaps.

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: Why are we acting like this guy's Darren Woodson not

59
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: no that's my point. He even when he does come back,

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: there's like a huge question mark about him. I think

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: the fact is, and he's got to finish the game too.

62
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: He's a fairly high draft choice. I would say it's

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: a significant draft pick. He's at cornerback where you got

64
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: young guys. People just want to see. It's not that

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: that he's going to be the savior of anything. As

66
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: much as people want to see. I know, I'm interested

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: to see what he can do on the field. And

68
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: that's what you haven't had a chance to see yet.

69
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Xavier Savior Xavier. It's Xavier xax or the savior? What

70
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: about him? I got you now, I see what it's okay,

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: come on, catch up, Dave. Alright, what about him? He's

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: talking about him and being the savior or not being

73
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: the savior. I was just oh, okay, whatever the next

74
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: the next point, next, next sounds a little broadness. He

75
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: over there like he's taken this, taking this personally that

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Cheeto hasn't been able to practice. But Brian will do that.

77
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, like he last year he's killing was good

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: about Tapper last year he holds grudget here. I am

79
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: so you're just great player. And you can't even get

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: all in the field, make me look like an idiot, Like, um,

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: where it was I going with that? Oh no, But

82
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: to Nick's point, I mean, he's not Darren Woodson, so

83
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: you know he's not Tyron Smith. He's not gonna just

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: hop right in there and play like a beast having

85
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: not practiced in a month. So I mean, I don't

86
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: know what to expect. I don't know what they feel

87
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: comfortable with. I know that he practiced full. I'll be

88
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: interested to see how the week goes on and what

89
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: that means. I mean, what type of workload does he

90
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: have in the game. Does he suit up for the game?

91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean seven guys have to sit and he hasn't

92
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: played in one month. In training camp, when he when

93
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: he was healthy, I believe it was a Wednesday. But

94
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: did he practice well? Do you remember? I remember he

95
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: started super strong, like like the first rep that he

96
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: did in one on ones, he got a pick. They

97
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: were one of his first reps. Uh. He had a

98
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: great first like ten days and then from the Hall

99
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: of Fame game until the end of training camp, it

100
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: was like where'd he go? What happened? I mean, he

101
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: was hurt for a decent amount of that, but just

102
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: it started super high and then it just kind of

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: fizzled out. Um, so well, yeah, like I don't have

104
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: high expectations for him, at least not right now. But

105
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: he practiced so the step in the right direction. Could

106
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: he be like Jordan Lewis? He absolutely could. I mean

107
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: in the all right, he played the full game against

108
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: the Giants, he played a quarter and a half against

109
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos, and he played a half quarter against the Packers.

110
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: And in that time span, I don't remember him doing

111
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: anything bad. I don't remember being like, oh bad day

112
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: for Cheeto. So you know who knows, who knows, But

113
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: more than you can say for Nolan Carroll, that's absolutely true.

114
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: One problem I said, does he look ridiculous with that

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: thing just sticking out like you don't know fa? Yeah, sorry,

116
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: there you go. My headset might look even worse. But

117
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm a distractable player. You are a distractable player. I

118
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: was exacting like I didn't see it, but go ahead,

119
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: and almost was hitting Amber with it. I mean, I'm

120
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,239
Speaker 1: just focused on the game. I'm just focused on the game. Um,

121
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: can I take this? You can take it anywhere? I

122
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: actually I wanted to take the conversation a little different

123
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: direction because you were talking about the cornerbacks. Um, Anthony Brown,

124
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: what do you guys? I what have you thought of

125
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: his play so far this year? Good? To me, he's

126
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: pretty good. And I don't I'm done with the sixth

127
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 1: round pick stuff like you know, you're you're just you're

128
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: up a starter now or you're a regular player. It's

129
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: like when Romo was here, like you weren't an undrafted rookie.

130
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: After about a year or so, now you you're we

131
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: expect more from you. And I think he's pretty good.

132
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 1: He's he's got a lot of speed and we saw

133
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: that in the game against the Chiefs. Does he get

134
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: beat sometimes? Yeah? And he's he might be your best

135
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: guy if you're in a player to go after. But

136
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: I think he's kind of a he's a fighter. I

137
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 1: heard him on Friday talking about if he had to

138
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: race Tyreek Hill and he's like, I take me like

139
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: and you know, even Switzer was like, you know, he's

140
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: like he was in the world class sprinter. He's like, okay,

141
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: well good for him. But I mean I take myself

142
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: and so see a fighter or is he just delusional? Maybe? Maybe?

143
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: But when you're a cornerback, you've got to sort of

144
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: be that way a little bit. Every every NFL player

145
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: I've ever met is a little bit delusional. I mean

146
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: they would call that just confident confidence, incredibly confidence, and

147
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: I see it as delusion in a lot of cases. Yeah,

148
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: but I get your point. I mean he was like,

149
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: and the question was, let's be honest. The question was,

150
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 1: if he gets a pick on like an out route,

151
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: he gets a pick and he's jumped the route, is

152
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill catched him. He's like, no, he's not catching

153
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: me from if. I'm like that now, if he has

154
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: an angle on me, maybe. So he wasn't just saying

155
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: that he would just beat him in a foot race,

156
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: got it. He was just basically saying, I like my

157
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: my speed, nobody's catching me from behind. So he's got

158
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: good confidence, good speed, and he's playing with that. And

159
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: he used to work on technique and all that stuff.

160
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: But I think he's pretty good. I think he's If anything,

161
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: he's probably just a victim of his own success. Like

162
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: he came out of nowhere, sixth round pick, had a

163
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: great rookie season. People expect him to be even better.

164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: I definitely don't think he's been bad, but you know,

165
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: he probably hasn't taken that step into being like a lockdown,

166
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: amazing cornerback. He's definitely given up some games this year,

167
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: but I think he's been solid overall. Absolutely. The reason

168
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: I asked that question is because I kind of have

169
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: the opinion that really, all cornerbacks have been pretty good,

170
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: none of them have been horrible, And I don't know

171
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: if there's been one that's kind of separated himself as

172
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: the best corner on this team. Do you guys have

173
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: an opinion one way or the other on that. Do

174
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: you think there's a cornerback that separated themselves as the

175
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: best among this group. I think you've got I think

176
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: you've got the fastest, you've got the smartest, and you've

177
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: got the probably just the grittiest corner And they're all different,

178
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: and that's not I don't know if that's good or bad.

179
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean, because I do think Skandrick gives. He plays

180
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: like a veteran. He is an experienced guy. He knows

181
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: where things are going to be, and you know, he's

182
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: been pretty good this year. You know, lately he's been

183
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: kind of mixing it up, making some tackles. But you

184
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: know there's something about Jordan Lewis too. I mean, Jordan

185
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: Lewis is, you know, ready to fight, and he comes

186
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: in here and you know he doesn't have a lot

187
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: of practice, and he just he just competes. You know.

188
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: I know that sounds like Garrett, but that's kind of

189
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: what he does. He just he just competes. Does he

190
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: get beat sometimes, yep, but he's gonna keep going. And

191
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Brown's sort of the same way. I think I'd probably

192
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: say Scandrick just in terms of everything that he does.

193
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a great blitzer, he's he knows the

194
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: defense back and forth. He's a veteran, he's super smart.

195
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: He can cover, he can play slot, he can play outside.

196
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: He's a special teams guy. Doesn't catch that well, but

197
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: that's okay, Okay, what Helen? If he he they both

198
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: jumped the route, does Scandrick pick that ball off? No,

199
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: it depends. I'm sure he wasn't mad about it. That

200
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: was mine. It might have been, but he might have

201
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: been like him. Oh maybe it might depend. I think

202
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: it depends a little bit. If it was a situation

203
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: where he was gonna have to reach out and catch it.

204
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: Like this with his hands extended. I don't think he

205
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: probably makes that catch, or at least history says he

206
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: probably doesn't make that catch. But if it's a catch

207
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: that's coming to him and he can kind of create

208
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: a little little bit, maybe he makes a cat Who

209
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: needed it more? Definitely Heathan Scandrick was coming off. Definitely.

210
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: I think Heath needed it more. Yeah, because I don't

211
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: like you guys just said scanders been good. Like it's

212
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: not like people are talking about Scandrick has a problem

213
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: on this team, right, but people were talking about him

214
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: after the Redskin game. He had a really good game.

215
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Then he goes out and picks off that pass to

216
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: win the game. Right, That's what I'm saying. We're starting

217
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: to talk about him at a different level. Okay, But

218
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean he needed it from standpoint of like like

219
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 1: he keep your job, Yeah, keep your job or go

220
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl. Hold off that Xavier catches. I'm

221
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: the fan off a little bit more. I wasn't gonna

222
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: say if I was gonna pick one of these corners,

223
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: you're just like gotta cover a guy. Just pick one

224
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: of these cornerbacks. You gotta cover, like one on one

225
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: for the fate of the world. I'd probably pick Lewis. Really,

226
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: I think, so you gotta cover like their best player,

227
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: who like, yeah, like we're gonna decide this game just

228
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 1: on one play against Julio. Yeah, and who's gonna who's

229
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy rolls out there. I'd probably go

230
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: with Jordan, really, I think so, I don't know, I

231
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: still take the guy that's the experienced guy, Like you

232
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: guys were saying, he's smart and Orlando has because of

233
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: his his veteran. Because he's a veteran and has such experience,

234
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: I trust that at least he can maybe do something

235
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: that's a little crafty to maybe make Julio not make

236
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: that catch. I don't know if I trust that yet.

237
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: And those other two guys because they still are really

238
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: young players. You know that's fair. I mean, Julio would

239
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: beat any of them, So, but I'd take Jordan. I think, whatever,

240
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: it's a dumb it's never gonna happen, but it's a good.

241
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: That was a good. That was a good. It kind

242
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: of does happen, though, I mean, I guarantee there's gonna

243
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: be a point in the game where it's like I

244
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: look over Derek, like this big play. Dere's will be

245
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: like you think, fourth and six, four minutes to go.

246
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna give me a prediction on top

247
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: of it, though, You're gonna tell me what's gonna happen. Yeah,

248
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna happen. But and then

249
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna line up, Oholiel's gonna line up on the

250
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: least side, and you know, or in the slot, and

251
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: someone's gonna have to go get him and whoever that is, Yeah,

252
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: now on you. Yeah, that's what's so tough about him.

253
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: I know we're talking defense for Atlanta, but man like,

254
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: he's so big and strong and then he's in the slot.

255
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really because a lot of times it's

256
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: those smaller guys. But all right, let's uh, let's move

257
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: on one other thing. I did want to note a

258
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: couple other things I want to note about the injury report.

259
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey was out of practice yesterday, which I thought

260
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: was interesting. It sounded like when Steven talked a few

261
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: weeks ago, he said at least four weeks, but at

262
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: least it looks like he maybe at least having some

263
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: he's suiting up and kind of getting back out there

264
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: a little bit that maybe a good signs he's the

265
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: new Cheeto. He came to practice and did fifteen minutes

266
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: of work and stretched and everything, but I mean he didn't.

267
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different for kickers because they have

268
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: their own regiment and they do their own stuff, and

269
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't I think it's Thursday, like they really only

270
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: do their full routine one day out of the week,

271
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: like on Wednesdays. If he was fully healthy, Dan wouldn't

272
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: kick on a Wednesday anyway because they don't want him

273
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: doing all those reps. So he didn't participate. I don't

274
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: think he's ready to participate, But it's a little bit

275
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: harder to gauge because it's so much different for a

276
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: kicker's workload. Anyway. Is anybody worried about that, about that

277
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: transition back into the to the mix in what way? Well,

278
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's not like another position where you

279
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: just he comes back in hope he does well. But

280
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: if he's not really ready to go, then you have

281
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: a backup, because you really don't I guess unless you

282
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: want to say Heath is the backup. But I mean

283
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna cut, probably gonna cut nugent, right, or

284
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna make him inactive, make him inactive. I don't know.

285
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: If I cut him with a with a groin injury

286
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: for kicker, I might hold him for at least for

287
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: several weeks, maybe after Dan'm feeling a little bit about

288
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: it when you do. But you guys think that's a

289
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: smart way to good and ill. But you're inactive. Yes,

290
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 1: you have to be an active, right unless you need

291
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: him for kickoffs, Unless you don't want to put kickoffs

292
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: on Dan Bailey. This all My point would be that

293
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna go even slower with Dan than they normally

294
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: would with a player, I think, because like they have

295
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: to be one hundred percent sure that he's ready to

296
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: go and that he's not going to suffer a setback.

297
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: So even if he's feeling good, I bet they'll wait

298
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: longer than they need to just so they're not in

299
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: a situation where he's down midway through a game. Yeah,

300
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: you know, I love Dan Bailey. I think he's great,

301
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: he's been. He makes it so much easier to watch

302
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: games because you're not ever really worried about kicking and

303
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: field goals, especially when it's like inside the you know,

304
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: really fifty five yards. You kind of think he's gonna

305
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: make it, and he does. But like something about Nick

306
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: Folk just kind of bothers me here because Nick Folk

307
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: was kind of rolling too when he first got here,

308
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: and then he had an injury and it was a

309
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: I think it was a growing injury or he ever

310
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: Dan Bailey, oh really made the Pro Bowls are rookie,

311
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: but um, he was probably just a product of a

312
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: good team that you're you're trying. You're saying that Dan

313
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: Bailey Eira is coming to a close. No, I'm not

314
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: saying that. I'm just like, that's no, I'm just worrying.

315
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm just a little worried about because when you think

316
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: about all these great kickers other than like Vinetiri, you know,

317
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: they kind of there they are, they're one of the

318
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: best in the league. And then you're like, I mean

319
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: around like we're David Acres now you know what I

320
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: mean that it's just like though he had a really

321
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: long career. Ye oh, I know, But I'm just saying

322
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden something happens and so

323
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: it's like I hear you. It's kind of like it's

324
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: like pop stars, like you're on top of the world

325
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: and then you're like unemployed by Yeah, Like I get it.

326
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't either, really

327
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: not yet at least I don't either. I just I

328
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: think he's really good. And the thing about Dan is

329
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: that he's he's so committed to his craft that I mean,

330
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure it may not be this year, though he

331
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: may not just come right back in and then start

332
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: making fifty five. I mean it may it maybe next

333
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: year when that happens. And I think the other thing

334
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: that happens a lot too is that kickers seemed to

335
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: go through this period where they get in this mental

336
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: funk and they can't get themselves out of it, and

337
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: then that that's what ends up taking him down and

338
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: they get cut by a team and another pink team

339
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: picks him up and left lets him kind of see

340
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: if they can rekindle what was great about him. That

341
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: the kicker right now in Seattle, he was for a

342
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: long time. It's a really good kicker. No, it was

343
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: a guy that was in Minnesota where yeah, Blair Walsh,

344
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: so you're just had a yeah House score was Seattle's

345
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: guy for a long time now. He's Buffalo's guy, right,

346
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: and and then you kind of go to that period

347
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: where you can't get anything right, you get cut another

348
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: team says, man, that was a really good kicker. Let's

349
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: give him a shot to kind of regain that. And

350
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: either he can or he can't, but it becomes a

351
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: mental thing. And the reason why I say that is

352
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: because I think the one thing I love about Dan

353
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: Bailey is he seems to never ever get flustered really always.

354
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: He's always like right there, even just seeming like his

355
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: personality like he never seems too high, he never seems

356
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: really down. He's just kind of pretty steady. Oh so

357
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: that's good for a kicker, but I can't. I would

358
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: think absolutely not boring and bad for me. It would

359
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: be bad for radio and for TV. If Dan were

360
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: actual point right, he's a pretty bad interview if right.

361
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: But Dan's a great kicker, and that's a great quality

362
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: to have in a a kicker. And that's what I think

363
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: may stop him from getting into that, at least right now,

364
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: is that I don't think it will become a mental thing.

365
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: For not only that, but Dan and Chris Jones both

366
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: like going back to the injury thing. Like most kickers

367
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: look like your dad, you know, like Dan Bailey and

368
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: Chris Jones are awesome athletes, Like they win the training

369
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: program year after year. You can talk to guys on

370
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: this team like Dan and Chris beat them during the

371
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: offseason workouts, like I mean, they're not like Anthony Brown fast,

372
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: but they're fast, and like they take care of themselves,

373
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: like I suck Chris blow a guy up last. Yeah, no,

374
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: the punchisher for sure. So I don't worry about him

375
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: bouncing back from an injury because like you don't think

376
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: of kickers as like true athletes, but he really is.

377
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: I just think they need to give him enough time

378
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 1: to fully recover, even at practice, even him going out

379
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: there and let's say he pulls something again. If he

380
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: does that, then I would be really really concerned. And

381
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: that's really easy to do for someone that plays his position.

382
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: With the growing injury, they just give need to give

383
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: him enough time to recover and I'll put him out

384
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: there too soon. Just kind of like what happened with Cheeto.

385
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: Different injury, but still you're talking about something similar. Kind

386
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: of how you get that type of injury and see

387
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: what happens you got worse and worse YEP. All right,

Speaker 1: At the start, we're talking Cowboys versus Falcons, and we're

438
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: gonna now jump right into the Atlanta defense. Defense. Dave

439
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: the real quick before we do this. Just the New

440
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: Orleanian in me can't let this go. I just want

441
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: to remind everybody that the Atlanta Falcons blew a twenty

442
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: eight to three lead in the Super Bowl. I feel

443
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: like I just needed to say that, where'd that couple? Like?

444
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: I just wanted to remind people. Is that specific to

445
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: the defense? Is that why you're leading there, they had

446
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: a twenty eight three league and they let it and

447
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: go away. So yeah, here we go with the mumbling again. Anyway, no, no,

448
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: no, no no, sorry. Um, not surprisingly, since dan Quinn came

449
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: from Seattle, and people all over the league, including Jason Garrett,

450
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 1: will tell you like this, I mean, this is Seattle's defense.

451
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: That's what they do. It's from four man front with versatile,

452
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: penetrating pass rushing type guys. Um, big, highly talented secondary.

453
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: They don't have. I mean, they don't have the legion

454
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: of boom. That's just great drafting, but not for lack

455
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: got some good players, not for lack of trying though. Yeah,

456
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: I mean Desmond Truffont is a first round pick. Kean O'Neill,

457
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: who I'm going to talk about extensively is a first

458
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: round pick. Robert Alford who had a I believe he

459
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: had to pick six in the Super Bowl. He's a

460
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: second round pick. So they have definitely put resources in there. Um.

461
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean linebackers and very fast linebacker which

462
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: actually the Seattle model. Right, Oh yeah, absolutely, it's and

463
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: I was actually reading a story about this. It's funny.

464
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: San Francisco's de coordinator came from Seattle too, and he

465
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: like laid the whole thing and he's like, yeah, you

466
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: need a front four that can do this. You need

467
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: your defensive backs to do that. And he's like, linebacker

468
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: almost doesn't even matter. I mean, you need good players.

469
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: But he's like Mike Will, it's all the same thing.

470
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: Size doesn't really matter. It just if you're fast and

471
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: athletic and can make play. It's about speed. Dion Jones

472
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: certainly is that he's their main linebacker. But it's funny

473
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: because you watch these guys and you look at the

474
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: depth chart and you're like, wait, what's going on here?

475
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Because Vick Beasley, who you should know, I think he

476
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: had fifteen sacks last year. He's your primary edge rusher,

477
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: but they list him as a linebacker. It's that Leo

478
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: position that they love to talk about. In that scheme,

479
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: they bring Keyan O'Neill down, he's basically an extra linebacker.

480
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: So you've got your listed linebackers playing left end and

481
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: you're lifted listed safeties playing next to Dion Jones as

482
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: like your your actually your third linebacker. So it's it's

483
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: really interesting because they play a lot of nickel, but

484
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: it looks like a base defense because there's still three

485
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: linebackers there because they play so much single high safety.

486
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: Um So Beasley is the is the guy that I'm

487
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,959
Speaker 1: looking at against either best defensive player. Yeah, I think so,

488
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: just just because he can affect the passer probably, But

489
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like Dion Jones is a beast and that's

490
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: not me being an LS shoe homer. He's awesome. Um

491
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: And then Neil, this guy Neil which I remember doing

492
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: the draft show Brian. Brian liked him, but I think

493
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 1: like he had him as a second round pick. He

494
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: couldn't believe Atlanta used a first round pick on him.

495
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,679
Speaker 1: And but he's he's playing like a beast. He has

496
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: saw in his in his right up yesterday he said

497
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: he was. He said, I'll gladly say I'm wrong on

498
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: that when he's definitely worth the pick. He had two

499
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 1: strips of Jonathan Stewart in this game against the Panthers

500
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: last week. He's he's a ferocious hitter, he looks for

501
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: contact and a big guy. Right. Uh yeah, I mean

502
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: like he's down in the like I said, I mean,

503
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: he looks like he could play linebacker if he really

504
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: wanted to. Um. So that's Beasley's on the left side. Again.

505
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm tired of hearing this right end crap because all

506
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: the best ones, um, but I will be interested, especially

507
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: if Tyron Jones or Tyron Jones, if Tyron Smith isn't

508
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: playing in this game. I wonder how that affects what

509
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: they want to do if they move Beasley, m Adrian

510
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: Clayborne and Tack McKinley or your guys on the right side.

511
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 1: Tach McKinley rookie this year picked number twenty six, probably

512
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: would have been picked number twenty eight, if really if

513
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: I yeah, oh yeah, for sure. It was between those

514
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: were kind of the Yeah. If he had been there,

515
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys would have wanted him. And and

516
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: he's he's good, he's he's He had the injury, right,

517
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: he had an injury and college he had surgery right

518
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: when his college season and I don't remember what it was.

519
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: I think it was his shoulder. Um, but he'd be

520
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: a Scotter report on him, like when he was coming

521
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: to college, What what did you like about him? What

522
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: didn't you like about him? He's too I mean to

523
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 1: sound like bright, he's that classic like right end. He

524
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: was the logic at the time was he's the most

525
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: athletic of the pass rushers that would be available to

526
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: the Cowboys in that range. I mean, he's not on

527
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett's level, but you are never going to be

528
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: able to pick that high anyway. He's got a ridiculous motor,

529
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 1: like he never takes plays off, he doesn't dog anything.

530
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: He's super. He's the guy that brought the picture of

531
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: his grandmother out during the draft. Like he's just super.

532
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: He's super intense all the time, Like just a very

533
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 1: high intensity type of guy. Um, he's he's doing all right,

534
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: Like he's not starting, He's got he's got eight eight

535
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: tackles and two and a half sacks. I think, so

536
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: like he's doing he's doing better than Taco, but not

537
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: so much that it's like insane. Um, Claiborne's a guy

538
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: that I want. Yeah, I know, yeah, Like yeah, you

539
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: can say that now. It's uh, Grady Jarrett is the

540
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: is the three tech here, which actually, thinking back to

541
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, don Tari Poe is their nose tackle. Now

542
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: remember he was He's the nose tackle in Atlanta. Yeah,

543
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: playing alongside Jarrett, Like, yeah, that's a pretty nice one

544
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 1: two punch ja I mean about a big dude. Yeah, Jarrett.

545
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: He was the guy that had three sacks in the

546
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year and he's playing great again this year.

547
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: So he's a guy to watch. But really, like, like

548
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: I said, like it's Seattle's blueprint and they've got a

549
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: lot of talent, but I don't think they're all the

550
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: way there yet that this is like some kind of

551
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: dominant unit. Their twelfth overall, their tenth against the pass,

552
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: which this aggravates the crap out of me because they

553
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: love to play man and they have the athletic corners

554
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: to do it. But then last week they played zone

555
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: in key situations and it burnt them. Would like I

556
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: just it happens all the time, Like why do you

557
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: change your plan up just because of the situation, Like,

558
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: trust your guys, especially in the NFL. They're fourteenth and

559
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: scoring d which is pretty damn good twenty one point

560
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: five points, So something's got to give there. But then

561
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: the main thing that I look at, and I look

562
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: like I do this with every every team that I watched,

563
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Cowboys, they're eighteenth against the run.

564
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: They're allowing one hundred and fifteen yards per game, which

565
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: like to me that, I mean, that sounds all right,

566
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: but I don't trust that they can stop the Cowboys

567
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: straight up. I just don't think they faced a really

568
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: good run run offense this season. They played Carolina last

569
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: week and they gave they gave up two hundred yards.

570
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,120
Speaker 1: Oh wow to Carolina. Gave up two hundred yards to Carolina. Yeah,

571
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,919
Speaker 1: that's my Yeah, I know that. How much of that

572
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: was Jonathan Stewart versus Cam Newton? Cam killed them, right,

573
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: and that's a little different helps well, it helps Dak,

574
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: but but it is a little different from a standpoint

575
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: of how they defend against just the base run, right it.

576
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: I get your point, but I think the Cowboys should

577
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: absolutely incorporate that into this absolutely, No, absolutely. They struggled

578
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: with the read option stuff all day against Carolina, and like, no,

579
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: Dak's not as athletically freakish as Cam is. He's not

580
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: gonna run for ninety yards, but he had he had

581
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: ninety yards. Those plays are there, though, Those plays are there, like,

582
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: and I think they should absolutely take advantage of it.

583
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: He hit him for thirty four yards on a bootleg.

584
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 1: He hit him the touchdown run. Yeah, he had the

585
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: touchdown where he dunked on the guys. He had several

586
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: ten yard gains on draws and option keepers Like, I

587
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: think they should incorporate a lot of that stuff into

588
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: this game, especially if Zeke is there, which we don't

589
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: know he is. But bottom line, I think you can

590
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: run on these guys. And to the point, we just

591
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: made Dion Jones as a hell of a player. But

592
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: they go for small and athletic over big and bulky,

593
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: and I'll take that against you know, a power run

594
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,400
Speaker 1: team that can line up and just smash the ball

595
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: at you. How comfortable do you feel the Cowboys can

596
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: run that? Well? If let's assume for a second you

597
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: don't have Tyron Smith or you don't have Zeke Elliott,

598
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: you still have your front three and they're still playing

599
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: pretty well. Right Yeah, I mean, same thing. I keep saying.

600
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: It won't be as pretty, but I still think you

601
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 1: can do it. So there's a lot of talented stuff here.

602
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: But it's not anything that scares the crap out of me. Basically,

603
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: it's how I feel, all right, Amber, give me one

604
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: thing that stands out about this Atlanta defense, Nothing really,

605
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: I mean, aside from aside from everything that day've just

606
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: talked about. I mean, I keep looking at all these

607
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 1: rankings and there's really nothing that worries me necessarily. For example,

608
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: their defense are rushing plays of fifty plus yards, their number,

609
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: their tie number one in stopping opponents doing that. But

610
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: then you look at the Cowboys, that's not necessarily something

611
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: that the Cowboys have been doing. So a lot of

612
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: the things I'm looking at doesn't really take down on

613
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: what the Cowboys are doing. So I'm not concerned or

614
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: worry about their defense. Just the thing that I am

615
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: concerned it was, is what you just talked about, Tyren

616
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: Smith a sequel Elliott. What kind of players? What players

617
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are going to have available on Sunday. That's

618
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: my main concern. Aside from that anything else from what

619
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: they've talked about, there's nothing there. Well, I'm gonna let

620
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: Nick go because I don't want to do that thing

621
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: where I take his point out of his mouth. So well,

622
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know about the fifty plays, but

623
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: the twenty plus plays. The Atlanta doesn't really give up

624
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: a ton of big plays, right, So that's one thing

625
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: that they are pretty good at. But the thing is

626
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: is that that might be bad if you're playing if

627
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: they're playing you know, Kansas City or something like that.

628
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: But Kansas City relies on big plays and they didn't

629
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: get many, and that's why they didn't win, or one

630
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: of the reasons. The Cowboys don't really need that as much.

631
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: You know, as great as Zeke is running the ball,

632
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: I think we said the other day, as long as

633
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: rush is thirty yards and so you know, they're not

634
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: really a big play type offense. So you know, yeah,

635
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta is doing a great job of eliminating that. I

636
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: guess I'll say the one thing that would concern me.

637
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: You know, the Cowboys have twenty eight they have a

638
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: streak of twenty eight straight games. I'm sorry, twenty eight

639
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: points in six straight games. That is a franchise record.

640
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: They've tied in a two thousand and seventeam They can

641
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: go for seven in a row. But the problem is

642
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: Atlanta hasn't given up twenty eight all year. That is,

643
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: while they're not playing that well, they don't score a

644
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: lot of on offense, they have not allowed more than

645
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: twenty six points. And that was a game they won

646
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: at Detroit, which a lot of controversy, and that that

647
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: played Detroit looked like they scored at the end, it

648
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: would have been over that you know number, But so

649
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: that that's their cutoff really is like twenty six points

650
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: right there. And I believe they're on a run of seventeen,

651
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: Like they've allowed an average of seventeen in their last

652
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: three or four weeks. What kind of offenses have they

653
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: been facing in them, Well, they've faced Carolina, the Jets,

654
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: New England, and Miami. So New England they lost twenty

655
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: three to seven at New England. So that was a

656
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: game where you know, they couldn't get anything going. New

657
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: England didn't run away with it. You know, that's really

658
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: interesting too. But flow at home twenty three points allowed,

659
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 1: Oh that was that was the Sunday night game. Yeah,

660
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 1: that where we were flying or coming back from somewhere.

661
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: And that's interesting thing. New England, like they've been having

662
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: some real issues stopping the run and on defense as

663
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: as a whole. To be able to hold them to seven,

664
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: that's really that's really interesting, I think when you put

665
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: it in the context of what happened the first half

666
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: of this they have faced some of the better quarterbacks

667
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: in the league. You know, I guess with with Aaron

668
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: Rodgers in Week two and they won that game. They

669
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 1: faced Matt stafford Um, Tom Brady, you know, Cam, Josh McCown.

670
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: So some of the better quarterbacks in the league count

671
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: they haven't played. You just gotta slip that one into

672
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: adjust McCown. They haven't your Patten. They haven't played Breeze yet,

673
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: have they? No? Are you no? They haven't. It's got

674
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: two games against him. Yeah, I'm sorry they played them.

675
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: They play them in the week fourteen and then Week

676
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: sixteen to kind of like the Cowboys fourteen and sixteen.

677
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 1: That's awful. They would have them closed to give them

678
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: at that extra week at least week Well, they played

679
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: December seventh. That seems like a Thursday game. I think

680
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: it is. Yes, yes, okay, So they play him on

681
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: a Thursday game, and then the next weekend they play

682
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: at Tampa, and then the next and then Christmas Eve

683
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: they play him. That's all. I don't like when they

684
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: do that with I don't like that. I like to

685
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: have a little more space between especially division. I don't

686
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: like what's happening with the Cowboys and Eagles right now,

687
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: like a big rivalry between two teams that you think

688
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: are gonna contend for the division and they don't play

689
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: for the first time until November. Yeah, I mean I

690
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: don't like that. I agree, because they get to Thanksgiving.

691
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: They have not faced Tampa Bay or New Orleans yet, Atlanta,

692
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: They've got to face Tampa, you know. So in their

693
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: final six games, they got four games against the Saints

694
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: and Tampa and then of course Carolina too. That's the

695
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: NFL trying to manufacture drama by backloading they schedule with

696
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: division games. That's all that is. Yeah, I know, I

697
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: know they try to do that. I just and I can't.

698
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: I don't presume to know the intricacies of trying to

699
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: figure out thirty two teams and you know, all these

700
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: games and scheduled buys and all that. It could probably

701
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 1: be pretty taxing. But still, just as a fan, as

702
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: somebody watching, that just doesn't feel right to me. I

703
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: like to like a little more space between those games. One.

704
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean this, like I said, this is a talented defense,

705
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: and I mean scoring defense is the most important stat

706
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: of all, right, and they're giving up twenty one points

707
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: a game. But the big thing for me, they are

708
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: tied for last in the league in takeaways. Yep, they

709
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: have six, and two of those came last week, so

710
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: they had four going into week nine of the season.

711
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: Two picks, four fumble recoveries. The Cowboys have given the

712
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: ball away eight times, and four of those are fumbles.

713
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: Four picks. When was Dak's last pick the Rams, I

714
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: don't know, it's been more. It's been a nice little

715
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: stretch of games here since the last time he threw

716
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 1: an interception. So you're going on the road against the

717
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,240
Speaker 1: team that isn't good at taking the ball away, you absolutely,

718
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: not only do you have to, but you should Packers

719
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: Packers Sols October eighth. Oh yeah, that one wasn't even

720
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 1: his fault. Yeah, bummer, but you shouldn't. And you can't

721
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: lose the turnover battle to this team. Like if you're

722
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: losing like that's that's embarrassing. For a team that's as

723
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: good at protecting the football as the Cowboys are, they

724
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: should not be given up turnovers. All right, He's got

725
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: four interceptions. You can really say three of them really

726
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: aren't his fault because one of them against the Rams

727
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: that they the ball was hit from behind when he

728
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: was trying to throw it, and Mark Baron like dove

729
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: and picked it off. And then you've got against the Broncos.

730
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: One of them Dez just dropped right to Chris Harris,

731
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: and then the one to keep to leave in the

732
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: end zone, the one that was on him. Yeah, I

733
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: completely I completely agree with you. But Dez has broken

734
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,359
Speaker 1: up about three or four would be picks too, I mean,

735
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 1: and that's nature of quarterbacks around the league. There's some

736
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: that they that they should have picked that they didn't

737
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: get picked, and some that they that they go the

738
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: other way. So somebody, like I think it was one

739
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: of those pro football focused guys, was tweeting the other

740
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 1: day that if you if you charted Dez's pass breakups

741
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: on like plays where he had to play defense, he

742
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: would be like second in the league in pass breakups

743
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 1: or something. I'm like kidding, no, but but I mean

744
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different because the receiver, your job

745
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: is to put your hands on the ball, So obviously

746
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: you're gonna touch the ball a lot, even when it's

747
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: not complete. You know, people are gonna be calling for

748
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: days to play corner. I mean, I don't think that's

749
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: a good idea, honestly, but if I thought it was interesting,

750
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: I mean, Das has played some good defense this year,

751
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about that. Yeah. When you look at

752
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: all the stats for this team, I think when I

753
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 1: got down to seeing their their turnover differential, that to

754
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: me was when I was like, that's your difference. That's

755
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: what has gotten them, in my opinion, to four and four,

756
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: and the offense has added struggles. The defense isn't perfect,

757
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: but I think they played pretty well. I think not

758
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: being able to get turnovers is a big difference in

759
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 1: what they are. If you're holding your opponents to twenty

760
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: points a game and you have an MVP caliber quarterback,

761
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: you should be winning more, right, you shouldn't be four

762
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: and four. Yeah, yeah, so I think I think that's

763
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: the thing I point to. And so if the Cowboys

764
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: can manage to not turn the ball over in this game,

765
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: protect the ball, I think they have a great shot

766
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 1: at winning this game. Absolutely should not. I mean even

767
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: if it's even fine, but you shouldn't lose the turnover

768
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: battle these guys. All right, let's like our final break

00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys go way back. They belong together, like Texas

797
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: and football, silver and Blue shotgun formations and Hail Mary's.

798
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: Having a Cowboys football party without doctor Pepper is like

799
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: having Thanksgiving without the Cowboys. Basically, we wouldn't recommend it.

800
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 1: So next time you have a tailgate, homegate, or whatever

801
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: else kind of gate, grab some ice called doctor Pepper

802
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: for you and your friends to enjoy. It's a Dallas

803
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys tradition. Doctor Pepper the one you crave. It can

804
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,919
Speaker 1: be hard to find the right resource for learning about

805
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: important financial matters. You search how to build savings, you

806
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: end up reading about the one weird ingredient from supermarkets

819
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 1: cowboy fans. They've got cowboy shirts, definitely a jersey, maybe

Speaker 1: a hat, but you're a real cowboy fans if you've

821
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: got that star on your underwear. And I was it

822
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: was just kind of brought to my attention the other

823
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: day that when you get some of these Tommy John underwear,

824
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: they come with the Cowboys star on them, just like

825
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: on the bottom of it. So you know, if the people,

826
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: if you're that close to some people that are going

00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: to see you in underwear, they're gonna know that you're

828
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: Dallas cowboy fans. So not only does it feel great,

829

831
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: can also support your favorite team if you shop exclusive

833
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm imagining like a third date or maybe a really

834
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: successful first date where like maybe that doesn't come up,

835
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, maybe that conversation doesn't come up, but then

836
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: like later on they're like, wait, you're you're a Cowboys fan,

837
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: and like either that's a deal. It could go either way,

Speaker 1: enhance your night or really just ruin your night one way. Yea,

839
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: So maybe you cover that before you get to that

840
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 1: part of the evening. No, no, you don't think, so

841
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,000

Speaker 1: important day regarding the Zeke matters. So yeah, you want

861
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen with ze today. I

862
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,240
Speaker 1: just know it's happened. There's definitely something happen. He's having

863
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: or he's in he's in New York, he's at a

864
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 1: he's at the second Circuit hearing with the panel federal judges.

865
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. We've talked about a million times. There's

866
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a hearing later today, I think two, and

867
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: then there will be a ruling. Maybe. Our friend Daniel

868
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: Wallack just said on Twitter, maybe it'll be late tonight

869
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: or sometime tomorrow. Like I said, I think we talked

870
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: about earlier this week. I do expect there to be

871
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: a ruling before the cowboys have to play the Falcons.

872
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,040
Speaker 1: I do expect this not Sunday. I Like I said,

873
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: somebody got mad at me yesterday because I said that

874
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: government doesn't work on weekend. Kind of go pretty hard

875
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: at our working friends. I'm very confident. I'm sorry, but

876
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm very confident that a federal court's not going to

877
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: make a ruling on a Sunday, like I just that

878
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 1: would about a Saturday. No, like the courts aren't open

879
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: on weekends, are they. Well, I don't know about the

880
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,359
Speaker 1: court being open, but that doesn't mean that the that

881
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: the judge doesn't work on Saturday. I'm out of my

882
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: depth here, but I think today or tomorrow we're going

883
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: to hear something. That's just how I feel. I agree,

884
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: all right, Well, we will find out Zeke Elliott is

885
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: down there. He's in New York, right, so he's he's

886
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: actually there for the hearing, and we will see. We

887
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: will see how this thing goes and whether there's a

888
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: decision anytime soon, and what that decision is, because I

889
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: think it matters. Yeah, I know a lot of what

890
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: I think it matters. You think it matters, Well, no,

891
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 1: you think it matters whether Zeke is suspended. Who were

892
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: the one that was saying that you think yesterday? I

893
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,359
Speaker 1: think your quote was, I don't think it matters as much.

894
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters very much because I think

895
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: they'll still be okay running the ball. I want to

896
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: review the tape on that. I said. I think that

897
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: no one we were up a serious I said, I

898
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: think that they can run the ball without Zeke. It

899
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: still definitely matters if he's in okay. Well, let me

900
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,360
Speaker 1: let me restate it. I think it matters a lot.

901
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: I think it makes a huge difference in their ability

902
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: to run the ball, especially if they don't have Tyren Smith.

903
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: If they have Zeke Elliott or if they don't, I

904
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: think it makes a huge difference. I don't think, like

905
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: I said last week, I don't think I don't think

906
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: they win that game last week without Ezekiel Elliott. That's

907
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: how how much I think he brings this team. Alfred

908
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: Morris average eleven yards a carry. I get it, I

909
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: get it, and you know, I really like Alfred as

910
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: a running back. He had one carry it right, I know,

911
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying I get the fact that Alfred

912
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: Morris is a good running back. I'm just saying I

913
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: think what Zeke brings isn't always seen on the stat sheet,

914
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 1: and I think that's the part that you're gonna miss

915
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 1: if he's not there. I have said many times on

916
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: the record that I think that they would be able

917
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: to run the ball without Zeke, but let me state

918
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: emphatically that I do think there's a difference. I do

919
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: think it is important whether or not he's there. It's

920
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: huge because we just talked about the fact that they

921
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: don't give up a lot of big plays in Atlanta,

922
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: and when you give the ball to Zeke on first down,

923
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the times he can he'll get it

924
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: to second and six, second and five, whereas sometimes you

925
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: know you're gonna be facing long situations. So I think

926
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: that that you know he would help. He's gonna help

927
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: Dac more than anything and keep him out of bad situations.

928
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: But I don't know if Alfred Morris and Rod Smith

929
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: McFadden can do that consistently, Like I have to see it, yeah,

930
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: because all I know is the last time that Zeke

931
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: wasn't here, they still had a good offensive line and

932
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:30,959
Speaker 1: they couldn't run in certain situations, So I just I'd

933
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 1: have to see it before I believe it. Yeah, that's

934
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: all right. Let's let's go ahead and move on. Let's

935
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 1: get some questions you guys call us two four eighty

936
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 1: seven two twenty one oh two is our number. You

937
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,879
Speaker 1: can also hit us on Twitter at Cowboys Break will

938
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,799
Speaker 1: start with a call from Dallas and Jacksonville, Dallas, What up?

939
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing? To day? I was laughing

940
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: about the comments she was making about the underwear star.

941
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: If you're significant, howther knows you're very very well enough.

942
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 1: You know you have a few pair in the drawer

943
00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: with a star on them. But my question is for

944
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: nick U. Nick I asked this question to you on

945
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: Twitter before you never answered it, and I asked it

946
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 1: on the other the other show, and Nicky kind of

947
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, read me my Miranda Rights doesn't sound like

948
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: that alone. Okay. If the Cowboys was to get a

949
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: speed receiver, do you really think they would use him

950
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: the right way? For instance, Lucky had speed and they

951
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: ran him east and west. I mean, how would you

952
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: feel if they got a that was a problem for Lucky?

953
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: Lucky could not catch the ball consistently. They didn't trust

954
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: him to go down the field, and they also didn't

955
00:45:29,800 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: trust him to run the right routes to to to

956
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: be that way. So, but he had speed. I understand.

957
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: I get that, and they were and they did not

958
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: draft him. What I'm saying is is that I'm not

959
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: I don't need the first round pick, but I need

960
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 1: somebody in the second, third round. You've got speed, You've

961
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: shown the ability to make plays in games that are

962
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: probably in a Power five conference. So I mean, unlike

963
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: Lucky again, he had speed, and I think they've missed

964
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 1: him a little bit. But I want a little bit

965
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: more than the undrafted wide receiver or who's under size

966
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: from Florida Atlantic. I want a little bit more than that.

967
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 1: I don't need first round, would draft one, well, I'm

968
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: talking second or third round. I needed somebody that scares you,

969
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: and I don't think he would scare you down the field. Now,

970
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: he did make a play against Screen Bay down the field.

971
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: It was start off as a running bank. It was

972
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of a trick play. You're right, Would they use him?

973
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: I think so. I think so if they if they

974
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: trusted him enough, I definitely do all right, thanks for

975
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: the call. Thank you. I get the point he's trying

976
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: to make, though, and I think we talked about that,

977
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: like I don't trust, like I just don't think they

978
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: want this offense to look like that, like that you know,

979
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,359
Speaker 1: people imagine like I always think about like Vintage Been

980
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: Big Ben Pittsburgh, where it just like it seems like

981
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: every third play is a thirty yard shot down the field,

982
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 1: and I just don't think they want to play that

983
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: way with the way they're built. So I think that's

984
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 1: the point he's trying to make. Yeah, funny thing is

985
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,279
Speaker 1: it seemed like you guys can correct me if I'm wrong,

986
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: but it seemed like earlier this year, that's what we

987
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: were saying quite a bit more, was that they were

988
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 1: trying to take those shots downfield. They weren't converting a

989
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: lot of them, but seems like they were at least

990
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: taking those shots downfield, right. I think there's a little

991
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,840
Speaker 1: bit of a difference there between like those are fifty

992
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: fifty balls to Dez Bryant Like that's but I mean,

993
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 1: you like go watch or Bryce Barter. But again Pittsburgh,

994
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: like you're like Antonio Brown's running these deep crossing routes

995
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: where I mean just chunking the ball or Martavis Bryant

996
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: is breaking open on a post or a go. I

997
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: think there's a difference. I think even when the Cowboys

998
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: do that, it's all about calculated risk, like this is

999
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: a good spot on the field, this is a ball

1000
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: that'll either be a catcher and incompletion, YadA, YadA, YadA.

1001
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: I just I don't think about again, the Cowboys don't

1002
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: want to throw forty times a game. I got it's

1003
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: that type off at a question for everyone, a little

1004
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 1: mini game. The Cowboys have twenty plays of twenty yard

1005
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: passes or more, twenty of them this year, twenty twenty

1006
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: plus yard plays pass plays passing players of twenty yards

1007
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: or more. They've had twenty of them. Guess how many

1008
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: of those twenty are from Dez three? M That sounds

1009
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,160
Speaker 1: a right. What do you think around there? Less than

1010
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: five for sure, and I would bet Bryce as the

1011
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 1: leader of five. I would guess four. I got thirteen

1012
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: steaks over here. The answer is four. Wow, think you're right?

1013
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: You're right on um. No, he can read this that quickly.

1014
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's Terrence Williams has three in the last

1015
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: two games. Um, and he's got four five, Bryce has five. No, Terrence, Oh,

1016
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: Terrence has five, Bryce Butler one two, three four, and

1017
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: Zeke has two and Hannah has won and Beasley has one.

1018
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: So I might be missing somebody. But that's I mean,

1019
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 1: is that kind of what we expect? I'm I'm just

1020
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: thinking off the top of my head. But other than

1021
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 1: the balls to Bryce, which are almost all jump balls,

1022
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: most of those are yak plays like Zeke's seventy nine

1023
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 1: yards screen, Terrence is a catching run, etc. Etc. Likeasi. Yeah,

1024
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 1: let me, they're not taking these huge shots. That's just

1025
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: not what they do. Going back to what the caller

1026
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: was kind of getting at, do you think that maybe

1027
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 1: the point of what he's saying too is playing out

1028
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: right now? You have a guy that has speed on

1029
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: this wide receiver for do they really use him the

1030
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: right way enough? Is it that they don't trust him?

1031
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: Because I know Nick you said too, the reason why

1032
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,319
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to get that speed guy later

1033
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 1: is because there is some deficiency in this game, and

1034
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: in this instance, for Bryce, it's that he's inconsistent catching

1035
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: the ball, but he certainly has speed. You're salty at

1036
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 1: the game. The the day. Anyway, he's inconsistent catching the ball.

1037
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: That's his vice, right, That's the thing that makes him

1038
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: the guy that's not your top guy because he has

1039
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: a speed. Do you you think they use him enough?

1040
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: Do you think they take enough opportunities to take advantage

1041
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 1: of his speed? Kind of going to the caller's point

1042
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: that if they had a speak guy, which they seemingly do,

1043
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: would they take advantage of it? Yeah, I mean that's

1044
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: a that's a good question. I mean, with him, I

1045
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: don't You're right, they're using him more as a big

1046
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: body guy. You know, he runs those rub routes really

1047
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: and not as much as the deep ball. So I

1048
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: would kind of like to throw him, you know, the

1049
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 1: ball down the field a little bit more. Yeah, did

1050
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: you see the other night that was a flee flicker

1051
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: in the Was that the Monday night game? I wanted

1052
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 1: to take tweach you so bad, but I was like, nah,

1053
00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: I's sleep it, Lowe. It got blown up. But Carolina,

1054
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:42,760
Speaker 1: this is sort of related. Carolina ran like the coolest

1055
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: statue of liberty I've seen since Boise State plant. They

1056
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: ran a statue of liberty in this game against theft.

1057
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: It was it was a statue of liberty concept, not

1058
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: the traditional but literally it was. It was like the

1059
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: Lucky play, where so they send Curtis Samuel in motion

1060
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,919
Speaker 1: from the left to the right. He runs in front

1061
00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: of him like lucky or wits or does here, and

1062
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: Cam takes the snap, fakes a bubble screen to the

1063
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 1: left and then like as he's dropping his arm down,

1064
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: he hands it off to Samuel behind his back and

1065
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: picked up like fifteen yards. It was cool. Yeah, And

1066
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that is I like the little nifty

1067
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 1: little concept. All right, Let's get a question for Twitter.

1068
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: What benefits the Cowboys more for this game multi side

1069
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: game for d Law and Irving or great red zone

1070
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: efficiency for the offense. I'll sound like a broken record,

1071
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: but I just always want the thing that's going to

1072
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,359
Speaker 1: favor the offense. Like if you're efficient in the red zone,

1073
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: that means you're scoring touchdowns and that games. That's how

1074
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: you win games. Any offense is going to have a

1075
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: hard time keeping up with that, especially when that's been

1076
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,840
Speaker 1: his stop start has problems as the Falcons, Like, I'd

1077
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: way rather be scoring touchdowns and forcing them to keep

1078
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 1: up than trying to put it on the defense because

1079
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: I mean, they're playing really well, but they're not the

1080
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: strength of this team, and if they're the strength of

1081
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: the game, that's probably a bad sign. Not only that,

1082
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: but red zone efficiency usually points to the fact you

1083
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: run the ball well. If you can't run the ball well,

1084
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: you're usually not going to be very good. Check out Detroit.

1085
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 1: They're a good example of that. If you can't run

1086
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: the ball well, then when you get in the red

1087
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: zone and everything's compacted, you're not going to be able

1088
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: to move the defense around enough in order to make play.

1089
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 1: So I think red zone efficiency is one of the

1090
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: most important stats in my opinion when you look at

1091
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: football and success. Woene at Lanza's back, feel scarc you

1092
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 1: more Freeman or Coleman Freeman just for he's gonna he's

1093
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: a better all around back. He's a better all around back.

1094
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: He's only got one hundred and thirty seven receiving yards

1095
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: this year, which is surprising to me. I don't think

1096
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,120
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkiejan's using him the right way. And I think

1097
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 1: it's weird that I don't know that they're as good

1098
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: as the Cowboys offensive line, but like they have talent

1099
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: on their line too. I mean, you know, Jake Matthews

1100
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: is a first round pick. They brought in Alex Mack

1101
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: and he was one of the stories of the season

1102
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: last year. Everybody gave him so much credit for helping

1103
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: their offense achieve that status where they made it to

1104
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And they don't they don't run like

1105
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: they like they're they don't think they can do it.

1106
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: He's got or and they don't use their running backs.

1107
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 1: He's one hundred and thirty seven yards. I think he's

1108
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:09,880
Speaker 1: only got one hundred and fourteen carries. I know Coleman

1109
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: takes some of that, but like out a whole lot

1110
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: though he was averaging four point five yards per carry

1111
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: and they only ran the ball. They only gave him

1112
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: eleven carries. They only ran the ball as a team

1113
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,120
Speaker 1: eighteen times in a game that they at one point

1114
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,879
Speaker 1: led by double digits. Like what kind of sense does

1115
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: that make? So Freeman scares me more than just in

1116
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 1: terms of what he can do, but it seems like

1117
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: they aren't aware or that he's good, or at least

1118
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 1: they're not using him that way. Yeah, and they seem

1119
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 1: like they're very different kinds of backs, So they scare

1120
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: you in different ways, you know. I mean, it's it's

1121
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 1: it's when you watched them, like, both of them, I

1122
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 1: think can run. Both of them can make guys. Miss

1123
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: Coleman is a much bigger kind of back, so you know,

1124
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: it just I don't know, they're different kinds of running backs,

1125
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: but I think they both have some scary features about them.

1126
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: They both can run. They both can turn a short

1127
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: gain into a big run because of their ability to

1128
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: run in the open field. Coleman was part of the

1129
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 1: post DeMarco draft, like he was in that class with

1130
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson and Jagie and I mean, you know, the

1131
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys have Zeke and whatever happens with him, I think

1132
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: it's a good pick. He's going to have a great

1133
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: he is having a great career. But I'll always be

1134
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: a little bit curious to know, like, like what would

1135
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman be doing here, Like would he be all

1136
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: Like Jagie is clearly a very good running back, he

1137
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: could be here too. I just it's interesting. I always

1138
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: think about that with it was guy in San Diego

1139
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: in that class as well, Gordon, Yeah, yes, but I

1140
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: mean he was off. I know, I was just wondering.

1141
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,719
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about that class. The running backs in

1142
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 1: that class, but some pretty good Coleman. I mean, everybody

1143
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: thought Coleman would be a second round pick, and he

1144
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: lasted well into the third. He definitely could have been

1145
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: on this team if the Cowboys had wanted him. All right,

1146
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: let's get another question from Twitter. Do you guys expect

1147
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: Terrence Williams in case that he does play and he's

1148
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: healthy and good to go, do you guys expect him

1149
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: to have such a good game like the one he

1150
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:01,959
Speaker 1: did last weekend? Or was that just a I don't

1151
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: expect him to to have another game like that. But

1152
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: that's not really what this offense is about. I mean,

1153
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: this offense is about, oh, watch out for Terrence Williams.

1154
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: You know, Whitten only had one catch for five yards,

1155
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: But this is when Witton comes back and Whitton has

1156
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: seven or eight. That's what a really good balanced offense

1157
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: does is that you've got different guys. They know that

1158
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 1: Dez is the guy they need to focus on, and

1159
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,760
Speaker 1: the running back whoever it is, if it's Zeke or whoever.

1160
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: But but I think that that's what makes this offense

1161
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 1: pretty good, is that when you kind of sleep on Terrence,

1162
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 1: then he could have a game like that, and then

1163
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: Beasley had You know, Beasley didn't really have a great game.

1164
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean he had four catches, but he two around

1165
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: the red zone. So when you get down in that

1166
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 1: red zone, they're like, watch Beasley, watch Beasley, and that's

1167
00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: where Witten's gonna make a play. This question illuminates for

1168
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 1: me why I think, oh, the problem I have with

1169
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: how a lot of people judge Terrence Williams. When I

1170
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: look at Terrence Williams and the number two receiver in

1171
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: this offense, it kind of goes to what Nick is saying,

1172
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 1: like they are it is not an offense to predicated

1173
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: on anybody other than Zeke and Dak every week doing

1174
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: big things. It is really, hey, what's gonna be the

1175
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: right matchup in this kind of situation? What are we

1176
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna get? What are we gonna be presented with by

1177
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: the defense? One week? It could be Witten one week,

1178
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 1: it could be Terrence one week, it could be cold

1179
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't it and they don't really care. They

1180
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: just want to take the best matchup and they want

1181
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 1: to get the ball the best guy. So I think

1182
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 1: it's unfair sometimes when people start thinking like, Okay, so

1183
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 1: he's ready to now have this really it's gonna go

1184
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: on this crazy run. Well, that's not the way this

1185
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: offense works. I don't think you can evaluate the second

1186
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: receiver in Dallas like that. Really, you can't evaluate Dez

1187
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: like that because it's just not This offense is not

1188
00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: predicated on one guy getting off every week. It's just

1189
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,879
Speaker 1: not the way it works. That's the one And that's

1190
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: why I think this team is still is lacking a

1191
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: speed receiver, because you know, you can shut down all

1192
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: these other things, but if a guy can run can

1193
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 1: run by you, he can run by you, and that's

1194
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,359
Speaker 1: something you always have to consider. And so I just

1195
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: think it would open up more things. And you know what,

1196
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: you don't always have to throw it. You don't. You

1197
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: definitely don't have to complete it. You don't even have

1198
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: to throw the ball to him. But I mean, I

1199
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,760
Speaker 1: remember in nineteen ninety six when Dion Sanders started playing

1200
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: offense that whole year, and there would be times where

1201
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 1: he would just run down the field. Of the first

1202
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: play of the game, Troy didn't throw it to him.

1203
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: They threw it over here, but that corner and that

1204
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 1: safety were like, oh man. And then from then on

1205
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: it just affected things, so you like having that guy

1206
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: with that threat back. You know what I'm gonna try

1207
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: to chart this week. I'm gonna try to chart how

1208
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: many plays there's a guy running I don't know what

1209
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,960
Speaker 1: would be the cut twenty yards downfield, thirty yards downfield

1210
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: on each pass play. I would like to see are

1211
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: the guys that are actually like they have a route

1212
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: in most pass plays that goes downfield, they just rarely

1213
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: use it. Yeah, I would. I would be interested to

1214
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 1: know that. I don't know that I've ever really charted

1215
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: that to see. Can you do me a favor too?

1216
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: And I know that you'll do this? And this is

1217
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: one thing I hate and you hear it and we're

1218
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: in the press box. You hear people talk different things

1219
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: and you're like, that's not right. People forget how quick

1220
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: safeties are. So yeah, sometimes a safety will see a

1221
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: running back and you know, the balls there and then

1222
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, and goes to it

1223
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: or say say it's not a it's a it's a

1224
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: deep ball and it gets dumped short and then the

1225
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: safety is here and you see Terrence just streaking like

1226
00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 1: Terrence was wide opens, like he wasn't wide open. The

1227
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: safety let him go once he read the play, and

1228
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: so I think people forget how quick they are, so

1229
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: don't get fooled by that. No, and I honestly I don't.

1230
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't even And it's not so much about what

1231
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: the defense does. I want to know how often the

1232
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys have a receiver down the field, twenty yards downfield,

1233
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: thirty yards down the field. I know, just to just

1234
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: to to know if that's a part of their offense

1235
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: regularly and they just don't use it. I know that

1236
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 1: you're a busy guy, but rather than trying to chart

1237
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: that live from the press box, you'd be way better

1238
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: off pulling up the all twenty two on game pass. Good, good, good,

1239
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: thank you. Any fan can do that. We should challenge

1240
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,439
Speaker 1: the fans to do that for us every week, right heay,

1241
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: have at it. I watch it every week. I've I've

1242
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: never honestly, You're right, I've never taken the time to

1243
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: charge it on my account, don't you I do. That's

1244
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I notice, sit down with your iPad.

1245
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: That's you have it with you every freaking where you go.

1246
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: Here's a question for you, what's tougher. What's a tougher

1247
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: time to get a conversation in with Derek, like during

1248
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: the game, as the plays going on and he's charting

1249
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: on his excel or right before takeoff, flying out somewhere

1250
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: when he's got headphones on already watching season three of something,

1251
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: and then our viewers who aren't watching won't see it.

1252
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: But he like he does this, like what like he

1253
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:32,520
Speaker 1: looks at you, just like you just he's you interrupted

1254
00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: the most important thing in the world. Like in both

1255
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: circumstances episode three over during a play as well as

1256
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: while I'm watching my show Texas is on and you know,

1257
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: and then we haven't even taken off yet, so you

1258
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: still got to get out the long horns on before that,

1259
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, the game's still in doubt. Um, so it

1260
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: must be early and then you usually don't go there.

1261
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: But okay, I guy, I know, I got you. I

1262
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: got you. My team beat Coastal Carolina, but I got

1263
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: oh you guys match up. Let's go bet. We need

1264
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: a bet this week. No, no, we need a bet

1265
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: this week. It's the classic lsu Arkansas, Like, I know,

1266
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: I bet there's I have nothing to win. If we

1267
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: beat them, great, they suck. But if we lose too

1268
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: but that's why we got to have a bet. You've

1269
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: got something to win and it doesn't involve me, what

1270
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:21,880
Speaker 1: bragging rights or just just not somebody not having the

1271
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: newest Arkansas fan in your ear. Oh, we need a bet.

1272
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: We got to get a bit tomorrow. We're coming. Hey,

1273
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: why don't you guys tweet us some ideas for a

1274
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: good bet between Brian, I'm sorry, between Dave and Nick

1275
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: for this Arkansas. I don't want I don't want. No, No,

1276
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 1: it's not about what you want. It's about what's good

1277
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: for the show. Do what's good for the show. Forget

1278
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: we're seventeen point underdogs. I literally like, I can't. I

1279
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 1: won't win. Be like I said, if if we beat them,

1280
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: we were supposed to. If we lose to them, what

1281
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:50,919
Speaker 1: else is new? We all if you beat him, Nick,

1282
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: maybe doing something that's really embarrassing on you, like we

1283
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 1: don't know when when you barely beat Coastal Carolina by

1284
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: one and flex your arms about it, like you see,

1285
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of over anyway until you beat LSU. That's true,

1286
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: then I might be pretty excited about that. So the

1287
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: bets on. Okay, we need some ideas. Give us some ideas.

1288
01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: We'll figure this out tomorrow, gonna sprint across the field

1289
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 1: and pick up that stupid boot trophy like it's because

1290
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: it's the only thing to check this out. Of the

1291
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:20,880
Speaker 1: twenty there's the top twenty one teams ranked in college football.

1292
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: There's seven matchups between top twenty one teams, some good games.

1293
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 1: That's unbelievable, And as they've pointed out on Twitter, the

1294
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: only one he cares about it really is LSU Arkansas. Yeah.

1295
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll watch those if they're on, But if

1296
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: we lose to Arkansas, they got some good games, Martina Da,

1297
01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope that you lose. I hope LSU

1298
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: loses to Arkansas and it ruins the middle of your day,

1299
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: and then I hope later in the day maybe you

1300
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: pick up a couple of Yeah, that would be cool.

1301
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: That would be a nice consolation prize. That would be

1302
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,920
Speaker 1: a nice consolation. Emmia. Now, in the Emmy Award ceremony
